# Hyperledger Identus
Hyperledger Identus is a comprehensive toolset for building decentralized identity solutions. It operates as a layer‑2 blockchain solution that uses a distributed ledger as a verifiable data registry (VDR). With Identus you can create and manage decentralized identifiers (DIDs), issue and revoke verifiable credentials and build systems based on the principles of self‑sovereign identity (SSI).
The documentation portal at [hyperledger-identus.github.io/docs](https://hyperledger-identus.github.io/docs/) provides detailed guides and explanations. It covers identity concepts, how the Identus components work together and a Quick Start Guide for trying the software.
## Repository layout
This repository aggregates assets and information used across the Identus project:
- **identus-docker** – Docker Compose configuration for running the Cloud Agent, Mediator and their dependencies. See [dockerize-identus.md](identus-docker/dockerize-identus.md).
- **resources** – Logos and documents such as the Identus Technical Charter.
- **workshops** – Example applications demonstrating how to build with the Identus SDKs.
Project policies are documented in [`CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md), [`DCO.md`](DCO.md) and [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md).
## Quick start
If you want to try Identus locally the easiest way is to use Docker Compose. Follow the steps in [`identus-docker/dockerize-identus.md`](identus-docker/dockerize-identus.md) and then explore the [Quick Start Guide](https://hyperledger-identus.github.io/docs/home/quick-start/) on the documentation site.
## Other Identus repositories
Identus consists of several core components, each hosted in its own repository:
